Book Review: A Fast-Paced Mash Up of a P.I Novel and Urban Fantasy
Summary: 4 Stars

In last year's GREYWALKER, Richardson introduced readers to Seattle P.I. Harper Blaine. After an attack leaves Harper clinically dead for several minutes, she finds herself a Greywalker: a dual citizen of both the normal world and the Grey, a shadow world hosting ghosts, vampires, and magic.

POLTERGEIST opens with Harper determined to manage the Grey. Her explorations into the nature of the Grey are cut short by an assignment. A university research group has attempted to create an artificial poltergeist. The head researcher hires Harper to prove the group is faking the phenomena. With enigmatic tech guru Quinton providing an assist, Harper learns the group has succeeded in their quest. `Celia' is quite real.

When one of the group's members is killed in a particularly brutal fashion, Harper feels obligated to learn whether `Celia' played any role in the man's death. Her search for the truth uncovers a number of nasty secrets among Celia's creators.

POLTERGEIST moves at a rapid pace, as Harper races to find a way to stop Celia, and the minds behind her, before the poltergeist kills again. Harper must use the Grey, a world she barely understands, if she is to have a chance at bringing Celia down.

Harper is not alone in her quest to understand the Grey and to track the poltergeist. Chaos, her ferret, delivers comic relief. Her friends Mara, the witch, and Ben, the scientist, provide critical assistance. Carlos the vampire also plays a pivotal role, but his assistance comes with a price.


POLTERGEIST provides a satisfying solution to Harper's latest case and builds nicely on the unique world Richardson unveiled in GREYWALKER. Additional books are planned in the series. Each new installment should be a treat as well.

Summary of Poltergeist (Greywalker, Book 2)

Harper Blaine was your average small-time PI until she died-for two minutes. Now she's a Greywalker-walking the thin line between the living world and the paranormal realm. And she's discovering that her new abilities are landing her all sorts of "strange" cases.

In the days leading up to Halloween, Harper's been hired by a university research group that is attempting to create an artificial poltergeist. The head researcher suspects someone is faking the phenomena, but Harper's investigation reveals something else entirely-they've succeeded.

And when one of the group's members is killed in a brutal and inexplicable fashion, Harper must determine whether the killer is the ghost itself, or someone all too human.
